title: Improvement in the modelling of a half-wave Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier.
abstract: Formulae giving the voltage drop of a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier are derived using a thorough analysis of the circuit. They differ from standard formulae found in the literature. We show that these new analytical expressions give improved results compared to both numerical simulations and experimental data.
